Wonderful 3 day safari with Sunny Safaris
We had a 3 day trip with Sunny Safaris, going to Tarangire and staying at Simba tented lodge, then Ngorongoro and staying at Kilimamoja Lodge before a final day at lake Maynara. We were collected from our hotel in Arusha by our wonderful driver guide Pius, who has 19 years' experience as a safari guide, and he looked after our comfort and was a fount of knowledge about the wildlife and vegetation in the parks, and well as people and places we drove past on our way to the parks.
The accommodation was great, we really enjoyed the ambiance of Simba lodge, and Kilimamojo was very luxurious.
The food was excellent, including the picnic lunches.
Pius liaised with other drivers in the parks to find us the most exciting close encounters with the animals.
The safari was a wonderful experience and we think Sunny Safaris did an excellent job. Highly recommended to safari with this family company.

Traipsing through the desert of Namibia
All our emails were answered promptly before we departed; David constantly strived to update his messages and emails on his cell, wherever signal allowed it (showing us he tried his best to keep in constant contact with all queries and future travellers). Service was good, with the guide adhering to the itinerary. The Safari itself proceeded smoothly; the vehicle was reliable and clean and the guide's input to any and all questions was polite and informative. We were fortunate in being just the two of us, thus having personal attention. David's knowledge of the area, through which we travelled (Southern Namibia), was extensive, as it was his home Country. All meals were made via campfire or gas. David cooks enough to feed a small army, which led us to often jokingly monitoring his "portion control" and we did our best to eat 2nds, in order to "keep our strength up" (this became our own private joke, as he explained that cooking for only 3 people was almost impossible for him). His bobotie was exceptional, made with the aid of "Bridget's trivet"! His dexterity with regards to braa'ing and boiling goods on the gas braai brilliant. He packed and unpacked his bakkie with familiarity and ease. He kept up good humour, even when the harsh terrain got us a puncture. We were assisted by the friendliest farm owner, Hermien, who had the neatest, cleanest bathrooms at her campsite we had ever seen! She and her husband plugged and pumped up the back tyre in 10 minutes, so very professional and helpful. At every opportunity, David pointed out numerous sights and interesting facts about the terrain and upcoming towns. David is trustworthy, funny, informative and most of all, brilliant at what he does. We would book again with him in a heartbeat!
Book Days Safaris Adventures at your own risk.
...i booked the tour 24th Nov 2017 with Kshs 22,750 for 22nd to 25th Dec. 6 Days to the tour, i received an email to clear the balance. I insisted on getting to know about the quorum. 2 days to the trip, i was told there was no quorum. we asked for next available which she said it was full. we never went to the trip: very disappointing coz i had booked for more than a month and it should have been communicated on time about quorum.Our anticipated and planned safari was aborted without prior communications. From a previous Trip, the services are Terrible, communication is poor, Customer care is pathetic.
Up to now am still requesting for refunds which had not been facilitated.
Am still waiting for the refund: All i get are empty promises.
I believe if there was no Quorum, she should have communicated on time so that we can get refund and book from another company.

Impressive service
I found African Welcome Safaris by chance when searching Google for safari holidays, read their excellent reviews and went ahead and contacted them. From that first email Kathi was extremely responsive and helpful....emails came back same day or next day but often within hours. Nothing was too much trouble despite changing our plans numerous times....Kathi understood that this was to be the holiday of a lifetime and we wanted to get it 'just right'. She understood that we had a budget and offered us various choices within that budget. The accommodation she booked for us in Johannesburg was outstanding and every transfer and flight booked through African Welcome Safaris went without a hitch. The safari was out of this world and the advice she gave us about what reserve to visit and why was spot on. She communcated the special needs we had (there were a couple) to the hotel in Johannesburg and the lodge on safari making our stay perfect. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathi and African Welcome Safaris to anyone wanting to go on safari or simply to visit South Africa....we have already passed their details to two sets of friends thinking of going and they would definitely be our first choice were we to safari again. Thank you so much Kathi.

The greatest experience! I highly recommend!
We had the greatest experience with Axis Africa Safaris. We went for a 4 day private safari from Nairobi to Amboseli and Tsavo East and finished in Diani Beach. Our guide, Joshua is a great person - very knowledgeable, experience and patient to all our questions. For the first 2 days there was also a cook, Fred who was traveling with us and preparing our meals - it was the most delicious food we had in Africa (and we visited a few good restaurants during our trip). The communication with Lennox before the safari was also very pleasant and the trip was organized very well. I would give 6 stars if it was possible! Thank you Axis Safaris!

Excellent - a life changing experience!
From the moment we met Mussa, our tour guide, we knew we had made the right choice with Roam Serengeti Safaris. Mussa was extremely knowledgeable and worked extra hard to ensure we had the best experience possible. He was extremely professional and demonstrated genuine pride for his work. He was very patient with us and happily answered all of our questions (we had a lot).
This was our first time on a safari and our experience far surpassed our expectations. We are planning a return trip and will definitely book again with Roam Serengeti Safaris.

Incredible Experience with an amazing guide!!
My friend and I went on the 6-day safari at the beginning of December, travelling to Masai Mara National Park, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park. From the beginning, Peter was excellent with providing information and answering any questions we had prior to arriving in Kenya. We paid in full prior to arriving and it was seamless. Leonard was our guide and he was fantastic, so easygoing and pleasant to spend the week with; we were very lucky to be the only 2 people to book that safari for the week so had the vehicle to ourselves! Unlimited bottled water was provided as well as a set of binoculars, though they weren't great, so I would still suggest to bring your own. The parks were incredible and our safari drives were always as long as we wanted them to be (within park operating hours). Each of the "budget" safari camps that we stayed blew me away with the level of luxury provided, all the meals were great, as was the service and amenities at each one. We stayed at Olda Poi Safari Camp, Flamingo Hill Resort and Kibo Safari Camp, which Peter was able to upgrade us to during the week which was gorgeous! I would highly recommend gong with Africa Flash MC Tours and will not hesitate to book with them again when I return to Africa!!!! Thank you Peter and Leonard for everything!!!! :)
